Inmarsat Fleet One

Fleet One Satellite Marine Terminals

Inmarsat’s Fleet One service makes use of the worlds most advanced and reliable global broadband satellite network; the same network which is used by the professional maritime industry across every ocean.

With the Fleet One you can access to weather information and chart updates, keeping in contact with loved ones or simply checking the news. Now yacht and fishing boat owners can take full advantage of maritime broadband services previously only available to much larger vessels.

Inmarsat now offers Coastal and Global service plans to put satellite broadband in the reach of any size of commercial or leisure vessel.

If you are preparing for a sailing holiday or an extended fishing expedition, the new Fleet One service ensures small vessel owners have uninterrupted access to the internet, while being able to send SMS messages and have telephone conversations from on board their boat, anywhere in the world.

How It Works

Fleet One is delivered through a small terminal, especially created for leisure and fishing vessels. It can be quickly and easily installed, providing a cost-effective solution enabling small vessels to remain connected at all times.

With this new, simple, solution you will have dependable connectivity whenever you need it. With Fleet One, yachts and fishing boats now have access to the same, robust and reliable technologies previously only available on much larger vessels, allowing them equally to take full advantage of online connectivity.

Fleet One also supports SOS safety service, which in an emergency routes you directly to a MRCC. This means that in one phone call you can alert the safety services of your position and nature of distress, by reassuringly speaking to the Search and Rescue Services knowing that assistance is on its way.
